I noticed this one while doing:
$ grep sha[^s]e five-letter-words
share
which doesn't fit with:
$ grep sha.e five-letter-words
shade
shake
shale
shame
shape
share
shave
A reproducer is easy:
$ echo shame |grep sha[^s]e
(no output)
Almost any change to the regex & input will make it work, even rot-13
of both. For example:
$ echo shamel |grep sha[^s]e
(no output, still fails)
$ echo shamel |grep sha[^s]el
shamel
$ echo sshame |grep ssha[^s]e
sshame
$ echo funzr |grep fun[^f]r
funzr
$ grep --version
